Kava Kava, The Natural Anxiety Reducer


Kava or Piper Methsyticum is a tall shrub that is part of the pepper family that grows in the South Pacific islands. The root which is used medicinally has been traditionally chewed or made into a drink is available in capsule, tablet, or liquid extract.

Most commonly people use Kava to help treat with their anxiety and insomnia. However, Kava can cause sedation, and when taking high amounts, intoxication may also occur. There have actually been quite a few studies on the effects of Kava. Most have shown that Kava does appear to be effective in treating anxiety. However, the effects are generally mild if taken as directed.

However, there have been some things that should be known. The FDA issued a warning about Kava in 2002. There have also been a list of some rather troubling side effects. Kava has been linked with liver conditions including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even liver failure. However, these liver reactions are thought to be due to pre-existing liver disease.

There are some other side-effects and drug interactions that have been reported with Kava. Remember before you try Kava to talk to you doctor first.

Is the Hydroxycut Formula Safe to Use?

Hydroxycut has a reputation of being the number one weight loss formula in America and it's used by millions of people each year. Many of these consumers have had positive results by using the formula, (despite some minor side-effects); however recent studies have found that the miracle-working weight loss formula isn't all that it's cut out to be.


In fact, on May 1st 2009, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public warning regarding the safety of Hydroxycut use, informing the general public to "immediately stop" taking Hydroxycut products. The reason? These fat-burning, energy-pumping supplements have been linked to many severe cases of serious reactions affecting the liver. The FDA warns that using Hydroxycut may result in an elevation of liver enzymes and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) which can cause serious liver injury, or liver damage resulting in a necessary liver transplant. Symptoms of liver damage include jaundice, brown urine, nausea, vomiting, excessive fatigue, weakness, stomach or abdominal pain, itching, and loss of appetite. There have been 23 cases of liver problems and jaundice, and one death as a result of certain Hydroxycut use.

Even though Hydroxycut is said to be a natural health product, it contains more than just natural ingredients and herbal extracts. Therefore, think about what you are really consuming and what it could potentially do to your body before using it. You may save yourself from a hefty medical bill due to serious liver problems.

If you are currently using Hydroxycut, it might be a good idea to find new means of dieting because 14 different Hydroxycut products are on recall due to the potential health hazard. The following products have been recalled:

Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets

Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Rapid Release Caplets

Hydroxycut Hardcore Liquid Caplets


Hydroxycut Max Liquid Caplets

Hydroxycut Regular Drink Packets

Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Drink Packets

Hydroxycut Hardcore Drink Packets (Ignition Stix)

Hydroxycut Max Drink Packets

Hydroxycut Liquid Shots

Hydroxycut Hardcore RTDs (Ready-to-Drink)

Hydroxycut Max Aqua Shed

Hydroxycut 24

Hydroxycut Carb Control

Hydroxycut Natural


Believe it or not, the classic method of staying healthy is still the most efficient. There are two steps to this method; exercise daily, and eat nutritional and balanced meals. Forget using the expensive weight-loss formulas and take a brisk nature walk. Skip the chips and have a handful of dried fruit and nuts. You'll feel happier and healthier.

Baraclude - treatment for Hepatitis B.

Baraclude is a new antiviral prescription drug used for chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in adults who also have active liver damage.



What is Hepatitis B?


Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver caused by the Hepatitis z virus (HBV), a member of the Hepadnavirus family and one of several unrelated viral species which cause viral hepatitis. Symptoms of the acute illness caused by the virus include liver inflammation, vomiting, jaundice, and rarely, death. Chronic hepatitis B may cause liver cirrhosis which may then lead to liver cancer.



Hepatitis B is largely transmitted through exposure to bodily fluids containing the virus. This includes unprotected sexual contact, blood transfusions, re-use of contaminated needles and syringes, vertical transmission from mother to child during childbirth, and so on.




What should I know about Baraclude before using it?


  • Lactic acidosis and severe liver problems, including fatal cases, have been reported with the use of Baraclude, alone or in combination. Contact your physician immediately if you experience nausea, vomiting, or unusual or unexpected stomach discomfort; weakness and tiredness; shortness of breath; weakness in the arms and legs; yellowing of the skin or eyes; or pain in the upper stomach area. These may be early symptoms of lactic acidosis or liver problems.

  • Some people who have taken medicines like Baraclude have developed serious liver problems called hepatotoxicity, with liver enlargement (hepatomegaly) and fat in the liver (steatosis). Call your healthcare provider right away if; your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice), your urine turns dark, your bowel movements (stools) turn light in color, you don't feel like eating food for several days or longer, you feel sick to your stomach (nausea) or if you have lower stomach pain. These may be early symptoms of liver problems.

  • Follow your physician's instructions with respect to high-risk activities such as unprotected sex and the sharing of needles. Baraclude does not reduce the risk of passing hepatitis B virus to others.

  • It is not known whether Baraclude passes into breast milk and what effect it may have on a nursing baby. Do not take Baraclude without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.


How do I take Baraclude?


Baraclude is available as 0.5mg tablets and 1mg tablets and should be taken with a full glass of water on an empty stomach - at least 2 hours after a meal and at least two hours before the next meal. Try to take it at the same time every day.

Your dose depends on whether you have been treated for hepatitis B virus infection before and what medicine you took. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.



Store Baraclude at room temperature away from moisture and heat.



Does Baraclude have any side effects?


There are less serious side effects which may likely occur. Continue taking Baraclude and talk to your doctor if you experience:

  • fatigue or tiredness;
  • mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased appetite;
  • headache;
  • dizziness;
  • skin rash; or
  • insomnia



If you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives), stop taking Baraclude and seek emergency medical attention.
